Abortion Is Murder By Torture

Abortion Is Murder By Torture

The scientific proof has always been known…

Does an unborn human baby feel pain during abortion? Dr Sheila Page says yes, excruciating torturous
pain until they die. Their pain sensors
are fully developed at less than 8 weeks as pictured during the beginning of the first
trimester.

This has not just been discovered my friend, it has been
known all along. So why hasn’t it been
common knowledge? Partially because of ignorance and partially because of an irresponsible
selfish desire to promote an agenda.

From the CharlotteLozier Institute

Dr. Sheila
Page, D.O., is a board certified Neuromusculoskeletal physician, an expert in
Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy. She treats a wide spectrum of patients from
the newborn to the elderly, including patients with irreversible and terminal
illness. Dr. Page (pictured at right) has a special interest in children with disabilities,
particularly those whose burden of care is difficult and who have been given
little hope for a better quality of life. Dr. Page is one of nearly 40
associate scholars.

In this interview, Dr Page
discusses palliative care and the science of fetal pain.

Question:In your practice of medicine, you
have worked with patients of various ages who are experiencing pain and who in
some cases have serious, irreversible medical conditions. How do you seek to
improve quality of life for these patients, and does your approach to treating
your young patients differ from those who are older?

Dr Page: Over the past 23 years, I
have seen a broad spectrum of patients, including those who have either acute
pain or breakthrough pain in chronic or terminal conditions. My goal is to help
the patient to become pain-free or to improve their quality of life. Using
osteopathic manipulative treatment, I try to increase mobility, decrease pain,
and improve functions such as breathing, especially when the patient suffers
from lung congestion or chest wall pain with breathing.

Using osteopathic manipulative medicine, I balance
tensions in the fascial and tendinous elements of the body, relieving strains
and congestion. The way I treat healthier adults is different than my approach
to very frail patients, or children and infants. Sometimes, in order to resolve
the problem, I have to directly touch painful areas, initially causing some
pain. That discomfort usually resolves with successful treatment and the
patient immediately feels relief. With children, I have to be very gentle and
patient. They often are already in pain and at first are pretty upset about my
treatment. Once they feel relief, however, they understand and are usually
eager to be treated.

Question:When does the unborn child begin
to respond to sensory input and become capable of feeling pain? How does the
formation and functioning of the nervous system factor into this capacity?

Dr Page: The unborn child responds to
sensory input as early as seven weeks (gestational age). All of the organ
systems of the developing human demonstrate function simultaneously with the
appearance of the anatomical structure. By 10 weeks, the human embryo has
well-developed organ systems and most of the anatomy can be named with the same
nomenclature that we use in adults. The brain has been growing rapidly and will
continue to develop as the baby grows, moves, and experiences the sensory input
of the environment surrounding it. There is no point in development in which
the structure exists without function.

With respect to the nervous system, the structures
responsible for pain perception are the afferent and efferent nerves and the
lower brain structures, including the reticular activating system and the
thalamus. There is no pain perception center in the cortex—the pain fibers all
terminate in the reticular activating system, and a very small percent will
connect in the thalamus to neurons that travel to the cortex for the purpose of
localizing the pain. At seven weeks, the thalamus is
visible. Within a few days, the entire system of pain perception expands into a
completely intact structure and continues to develop into a very sophisticated
part of the nervous system.

Question: What are the most common arguments against
providing pain prevention for the unborn child? What do you think is the
motivating force behind these arguments?

Dr Page:I can’t begin to
understand a motivating force behind insisting that pre-born children feel no
pain. The arguments are often centered on a false supposition that there is a
pain perception center in the cortex that is not functioning or intact until as
late as 26 weeks. There is simply no evidence that this is true. Almost all of
the pain fibers terminate in the reticular activating system, and a small
percent connect in the thalamus to neurons that travel to the sensory motor
cortex for the purpose of localizing the pain. This means that the message is
delivered to its intended destination, the lower brain centers, which are
responsible for the perception of pain
and for alerting the whole nervous response system that damage has been
inflicted.

Other arguments dismiss the fact that surgeons who care
for baby’s in-utero during fetal surgery and other interventions use anesthesia
and analgesic drugs on their tiny patients. They casually state that, in the
context of abortion, the use of anesthesia would be solely for the
“beneficence” of the pre-born child, and therefore would not apply. Since abortion is not a
procedure that is intended to benefit the child in the first place, they have
no reason to try to discern whether the victim suffers pain in the process.

Question; Why are you pro-life? If you had 60 seconds to
explain to someone why you have pursued the work that you have throughout your
career, what do you tell them?

Dr Page: I love the practice of
medicine, and especially love the relationship of trust that I have been able
to develop with my patients. I am drawn to children with disabilities and
patients who have debilitating disease that is chronic or end-stage. The
opportunity to give them comfort and to improve the quality of their lives is a
privilege to me. The focus of my specialty on the neuromusculoskeletal system
made it natural for me to take on the research of the development of pain
perception in the human embryo.

I have become convinced that innocent human life must be
protected. Denying the humanity of the pre-born child is a terrible deception,
and justifying its destruction, as if the pre-born are less than human and the
property of another, diminishes and confuses our understanding of our own
origin. I have heard the testimonies of hundreds of women, on both sides of the
abortion debate. It is clear to me that everyone instinctively recognizes that
human life is present at the moment of conception. If not, there would not be such a desperate and highly
organized effort to destroy it and justify the right to do so.

THE
BOTTOM LINE:For longer than I can
remember I have been saying this. Those
that are pro-abortion are selfish and irresponsible. Moreover in order to
justify their slaughter of innocent human life (more than 50 million so far)
they must ignore the truth. They must take the ignorant stand that an unborn
baby is not human and feels no pain in order to deny them the human rights that
they so adamantly claim for themselves.

Roe
V Wade itself states that if it can be proved that a fetus is alive at
conception then Roe V Wade would be nullified…It has been proved my friend.

Thanks
for listening! Now go do the right thing
and fight for freedom. Contact your Representative
Here, send them a copy of this article and tell them to abolish the
murder of innocent little American people.
